Hello Stuart,

I am sorry to hear that the Vermilion Mountaineering Pants have not arrived. I have passed this on to the Customer Loyalty Team and asked them to contact you with a solution as soon as possible.

Once again I am sorry that the service has not been up to standard.

Kind Regards

Perfect

I bought these trousers for my Mountain Leaders Assessment which was 5 days long and involved a three day / two night expedition. I used my lighter weight trousers before the expedition which ripped and tore and so I decided to use these Simond ones for the expedition. I wore them almost solidly for three days including night navigation. They were slightly harder to walk in than normal walking trousers because they are tough and heavier but this is what made them so good. It literally rained for the most part of three days and these were the most waterproof part of all my kit. I wore the same trousers for two of the days under these and was happy to put them on a second day because the trousers had kept them dry. I used these Simond trousers at the top of Pigeon Rock Mountain in driving winds and hail stones. They were perfect.

Fabric waterproofing

We measure a fabric's resistance to a water column, in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure resistance, the more waterproof the fabric. Components with 2000 mm rating can resist 2000 mm of water pressure (which is roughly equivalent to a rain shower lasting 2 hours). With a waterproofing rate over 10 000 mm, the Mountaineering Hardshell pants offer an extremely high level of waterproofing.

Product's waterproofing

The hardshell pants have been approved in a shower test under 26 gallons of water / m² / hour during 3 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a heavy mountain downpour.

Fabric breathability

To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporate resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more moisture, generated by an active body, is evaporated, and therefore the higher the fabric's breathability. We consider that if - RET < 9 = highly breathable fabric - 9 12 = slightly or not breathable fabric. Pants have a RET between 9

Product' breathability

On top the main fabric's breathability, these pants have been designed with 2 side zippers that let air flow in to regulate temperature, further enhancing ventilation

Full length two-way zipper

This new generation 2-way zipper offers the same waterproofing as a classic silicone zipper (similar to the pocket zippers) while being more flexible, which improves the hardshell pants compression when packed away. Plus, this zipper is easier to handle, which helps to make it longer lasting. The 2-way zipper and full length opening, allow you to fit or remove pants, crampons, skis, which is an added bonus during a storm.
